What an amazing night. All but 3 of our group is here already, and we had a lovely dinner and chanukah party.

Thinking about doing Instagram stories. Never done them before, and don't have much patience.

Aye or nay?

So apparently there's a fuel shortage in Ushuaia.

Looks like we're adding the Falklands to our itinerary!

Was an amazing sight to see Jews of literally all stripes lighting the menorah. 28 menorahs, all candles lit, with an epic sunset over the Beagle Channel as a backdrop.

Follow him on Instagram. I believe his stories pretty much mirror his status for this trip.
